Endless Spaceappeared as apre-order itemon Steam’s front page the other day, and having “space” in the title means I immediately click on it. From the looks of it, it should appear familiar enough to fans of 4X space strategy titles likeMaster of OrionandGalactic Civilization. The French team atAmplitude Studioshas also taken an interesting approach to transparent development, allowing prospective players to track development and vote on some decisions through a system dubbedGames2Gether.

Signing up for a free account is hassle-free, and gives you 100 G2G points to use for voting on faction logos and pirate ship designs at the moment. Pre-ordering one of the two editions of the game gives you another 500 G2G points, as well as access to the current and latest builds.
